00:00.660 --> 00:07.960
Welcome to part two of the test I'm going to give you a document with the topic you have to answer.

00:08.550 --> 00:12.820
You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes.

00:12.870 --> 00:16.120
You have one minute to think about what you were going to say.

00:16.200 --> 00:19.170
You can make some notes to help you if you wish.

00:19.650 --> 00:21.260
You have one minute to prepare.

00:21.270 --> 00:22.650
Starting now

01:25.640 --> 01:27.290
OK time's up.

01:27.330 --> 01:29.260
Please stop Rick Perry.

01:29.340 --> 01:33.800
You know I have two minutes to speak starting now.

01:34.290 --> 01:45.930
Well I would definitely say that I haven't made very many short short travels or short journeys that

01:45.930 --> 01:52.080
I have disliked but but one that comes to mind would be going to work.

01:52.380 --> 02:00.890
Actually I don't live very far away from my work but I have to go through a part of the town I have

02:00.930 --> 02:05.580
to go through a part of the town that usually has a lot of traffic.

02:05.730 --> 02:10.760
So you know when I get up in the morning and of course have my breakfast and get ready to go.

02:11.040 --> 02:20.070
And I leave out from the house around 7:30 8:00 o'clock and I have to travel up Colorado Boulevard to

02:20.070 --> 02:24.060
get to where to get to where I have to work.

02:24.540 --> 02:31.670
And there's a certain part that I have to travel through where there's just a lot of traffic.

02:31.680 --> 02:37.050
I think they call it a bottleneck where all the people from different directions come into one point

02:37.510 --> 02:40.190
it is just unbearable sometimes.

02:40.350 --> 02:47.380
Really if if there was no traffic the journey might take maybe about 10 minutes.

02:47.640 --> 02:54.060
However because there's so much traffic on this short journey to work it takes about 45 minutes to get

02:54.060 --> 02:55.930
there which is horrible.

02:56.040 --> 03:01.110
I have to do this about five or six days a week at work or work on a Saturday.

03:01.140 --> 03:02.320
Saturday is not that bad.

03:02.320 --> 03:04.410
That was usually Monday through Friday.

03:04.410 --> 03:06.480
There's really really bad.

03:06.600 --> 03:14.820
The main reasons why I don't like it at all is because number one of course the traffic and the people

03:14.820 --> 03:17.650
are very very impatient when they're waiting in traffic.

03:17.960 --> 03:21.370
Everybody's angry and upset and blowing their horns.

03:21.540 --> 03:26.540
In addition to that while I'm sitting for 45 minutes cooped up or stuck in a car.

03:26.880 --> 03:29.460
And so that could be very very frustrating.

03:29.700 --> 03:35.660
So definitely traveler traveling to work is the short journey that I really dislike the most.

03:35.700 --> 03:36.230
OK.

03:36.240 --> 03:37.030
Please stop.

03:37.050 --> 03:40.100
We now move to part three.

03:40.140 --> 03:45.420
I have a few follow up questions related to the topic you just discussed.

03:45.420 --> 03:49.840
What is the impact of vehicles on people's lives.

03:50.370 --> 03:53.100
I think that there are some good good.

03:53.100 --> 04:02.310
There are some good some positive and negatives when it comes to vehicles in the lives of everyday citizens.

04:02.700 --> 04:11.970
Some of the negatives would be that people spent a lot of time cooped up in traffic and they very often

04:11.970 --> 04:18.320
just waste two or three hours of their day going back and forth from work staying in cars.

04:18.510 --> 04:27.750
Some of the positives about cars are that now you can travel from from one from one state or one city

04:27.750 --> 04:34.380
to another city or one province to another province and a number of hours whereas before you had cars

04:34.380 --> 04:38.470
that would take a really long time maybe a day or so.

04:38.610 --> 04:43.830
Who do you think people are further away from workplaces in the future.

04:45.500 --> 04:47.170
Wow that's really interesting.

04:47.180 --> 04:54.920
Sometimes I look at different cities and it seems like people are moving back into the back into the

04:54.920 --> 04:58.020
inner cities so they can be closer to work.

04:58.580 --> 05:06.710
But also with computers and technology it's becoming much easier for people to work from home.

05:06.750 --> 05:14.090
And so it's possible that somebody might live in Lisbon Portugal but they're doing work in New York

05:14.090 --> 05:19.290
City and it's all over the computer so I can see it happening yes.

05:19.570 --> 05:23.870
It needs to be done to help people travel less.

05:23.870 --> 05:31.730
I think that there one thing that government can do that most governments can do are to build more mass

05:31.730 --> 05:34.400
transportation in the cities.

05:34.400 --> 05:40.220
Another great idea is what I've seen them do in Amsterdam where they have closed off parts of the city

05:41.200 --> 05:46.800
to two cars so people have to walk more.

05:46.910 --> 05:55.550
So I think another thing to do in terms of helping people to travel less is to encourage and embrace

05:55.550 --> 06:00.830
computer technology because maybe people can do a lot of the work from their home or from their home

06:00.830 --> 06:01.330
office.

06:01.340 --> 06:06.260
And I have to travel into an office as 30 or 45 minutes away.

06:06.320 --> 06:07.160
Thank you.

06:07.160 --> 06:08.940
That will conclude part three.

06:08.960 --> 06:10.200
Thank you.
